Christmas Eve
We enjoyed three wonderful candlelight services on Christmas Eve. Thank you to all of the volunteers who made it possible. Also thank you to everyone who invited guests to join us. Eight people responded to the message of Jesus that night! We are so thankful to see Jesus at work.

The Christmas Gift Result
In December we were attempting to raise $40,000 to support our church plant in Englewood, CO with JP and Carrie Ann Watson. These funds were intended to help with the start up costs as they prepare to launch this Fall.
We are excited to announce that we raised $58,245!
